3Setting the Image-Recording Quality

One-touch Image Quality Setting

With Custom Controls, you can assign the image-recording quality to the <B> button or depth-of-field preview button so you can switch to it momentarily. If you assign [One-touch image quality setting] to the <B> button or depth-of-field preview button, you can quickly switch to the desired image-recording quality and shoot.

For details, see Custom Controls (p.321).

If [51: Record func+card/folder sel.] is set to [Rec. separately], you cannot switch to the One-touch image quality setting.

Maximum Burst During Continuous Shooting

The maximum burst is displayed on the bottom right in the viewfinder.

If the maximum burst for continuous shooting is 99 or higher, “99” will be displayed.

The maximum burst is displayed even when a card is not inserted in the camera. Make sure that a card is inserted before taking a picture.

If the viewfinder displays “99” for the maximum burst, it means the maximum burst is 99 or higher. If the maximum burst decreases to 98 or lower and the internal buffer memory becomes full, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel. Shooting will then be disabled temporarily. If you stop continuous shooting, the maximum burst will increase. After all the captured images are written to the card, the maximum burst will be as listed on page 121.

The maximum burst indicator in the viewfinder will not change even when you use a UDMA CF card. However, the maximum burst shown in parentheses on page 121 will apply.
